<classSpec>

<classSpec> (class specification) contains reference information for a TEI element class; that is a group of elements which appear together in content models, or which share some common attribute, or both. [22.3 Specification Elements 22.6 Class Specifications]
Module tagdocs — Documentation Elements
Attributes
type⚓︎ indicates whether this is a model class or an attribute class
Derived from att.typed
Status Required
Datatype teidata.enumerated
Legal values are:
model
(content model) members of this class appear in the same content models
atts
(attributes) members of this class share common attributes
generate⚓︎ indicates which alternation and sequence instantiations of a model class may be referenced. By default, all variations are permitted.
Status Optional
Datatype 1–5 occurrences of teidata.enumerated separated by whitespace
Legal values are:
alternation
members of the class are alternatives
sequence
members of the class are to be provided in sequence
sequenceOptional
members of the class may be provided, in sequence, but are optional
sequenceOptionalRepeatable
members of the class may be provided one or more times, in sequence, but are optional.
sequenceRepeatable
members of the class may be provided one or more times, in sequence
Member of
Contained by

Example
<classSpec module="teitype="model"
 ident="model.segLike">

 <desc>groups elements used for arbitrary segmentation.</desc>
 <classes>
  <memberOf key="model.phrase"/>
 </classes>
 <remarks>
  <p>The principles on which segmentation is carried out, and
     any special codes or attribute values used, should be defined explicitly
     in the <gi>segmentation</gi> element of the <gi>encodingDesc</gi> within
     the associated TEI header.</p>
